Catholicity is right. Down here, most southern women would verbally castrate you if you harassed them - they are not as afraid as a group as some of these yankee feminists are. Then they would go home and fry some chicken and bake a pie.
But on the other hand, I am of the idea that silence is virtue, and this compulsion to greet folk out in public spaces, quite unnecessary either way. And I tend to endorse fellow men that when it comes to even greetings, it's best to simply shut the hell up. As was adequately mentioned in another post, we can't read minds, so I'd rather go with the safer option, and simply do NOTHING, just move along and mind your own business when in public spaces. And I tend to be very harsh even amongst my friends whenever they have catcalled a passing lady, resorting to even punching on the shoulder whilst yelling "What is wrong with you!?". It just disgusts me to utter end this insistence of calling out to women in public, a real lack of self control on behalf of the boy.Last edited by Andius; 10-30-2014, 07:30 PM.Ladino, Guatemalan, Hispanic, and Latin, but foremostly, Christian.

I'm also curious to what degree cultural differences play in the perception here. Here in the South, it's considered polite to offer a greeting when you pass someone on the street. You may not offer a greeting to everyone if there are a lot of people walking by (sheer practicality), but it's usually considered a little rude / off-putting to refuse eye contact and to not offer a greeting if you're the only two passing each other on the sidewalk. I wonder: do Northerners find the video, on average, to be more offensive than Southerners?That's what

All I was saying is that not everything in that video was harassment. Considering they filmed 10 hours, edited down to 2 minutes and still had several instances of non-harassing greetings in it, it makes me wonder how prevalent catcalling really is in NY? I think we can all agree that the comments by the guys just hanging out on the street catcalling the woman were inappropriate, but some guys just said "hello" while walking by. I don't find that harassing.
and now for your amusement:

It really underscores the arrogance and lack of common civility of this woman to think that all of these greetings were attempts to sexually engage her. The entire video is of her walking around with a scowl on her face and ignoring every greeting that was offered. Some were stupid and immature punks who lack the self respect necessary to respect others, but some were simple greetings of "good morning" to which she apparently lacked the common decency to acknowledge. Is she really so insecure and fearful that she perceives every attempt at hospitality as an episode of harassment?

I think this sort of statement is only possible to make from the safety of not having experienced catcalling on a daily or even weekly basis."I wonder about the trees. / Why do we wish to bear / Forever the noise of these / More than another noise / So close to our dwelling place?" — Robert Frost, "The Sound of Trees"
